Run a Stonegate Pub - Rising Sun Stockport, Greater Manchester

About the Pub

Winner of the ‘What’s on’ Cheshire pub of the year 2015, The Rising Sun is a property brimming with charm and character boasting a prominent location on the busy A560 from Bredbury to Stockport. The business currently offers strong food sales and a welcoming environment with a great selection of traditional ales and premium lagers. Recently refurbished, there is opportunity to further develop the food menu and utilise the cosy individual snug rooms to establish a charming local pub. The main trading area consists of an open plan lounge with a bar area with additional cosy little snug rooms with potential for 30-40 covers. The décor adds to the character and charm of this pub as it is furnished with traditional beams, a welcoming open fireplace, stone flagged floors and snug rooms. The well-equipped kitchen and storage facilities will enable the new publican to further develop a quality food offer. To the rear of the pub, there is an enclosed beer garden with covered smoking area offering seating for 10 people. The lawned garden has space for eight garden benches and is visible from the adjacent station platform. The two-bedroom private accommodation has a lounge and kitchen and is ideal for a couple.

A superb opportunity to acquire 'What’s on’ Cheshire pub of the year 2015. There is potential for the right publican to further develop the quality food offer and maximise the great wet trade potential. This is a traditional and charming pub that is currently well supported by locals from the surrounding residential areas. With an experienced food operator who also embraces the cask offer, this business could continue to grow and prove to be a very exciting opportunity. A great prospect for a driven publican looking to make their mark.
